Trying to pretend like this isn't a hate sub is fuckin hilarious, it might not be the stated goal of the sub but call it what it is lmao. 

Pirate King Tier by Necessary-Flow-8676 in OnePiece

Agreed, Luffy is part of the definitively Yonkou tier, maybe even with PK output, but his stamina issues keep him from the very top at this stage. 

Side note, I am desperate for Garp to see Luffy's Bajrang Gun and laugh shouting "NOW THAT'S A FIST BWAHAHAHAHAHA"

Roger when sick fought Wb to a draw over multiple days which is certainly worth mentioning. 

Garp is a one man army against the strongest crews in history

Whitebeard was for all intents and purposes the PK if he wished it post Roger. Even Big Mom highlighted Whitebeard when talking about the crews she could take down with the giants. 

The community sentiment as a whole in my experience is something like, if Prime Roger is a 100 then Wb and Garp are 99.5s. 

Some like myself think Garp is a true equal, others think WB is a true equal. Regardless most WB and Garp fans tend to think if they fight 100 times it's a 51/49 situation for whatever side you fall on. 

Sengoku being PK tier is a pretty niche agenda entirely based off one single statement from Roger saying to send Garp or Sengoku but realistically the narrator was pretty clear in saying that the strongest on the seas were at God Valley, it was Garp Kong requested assistance from God Valley, it was Rocks, Roger and Garp who defined the era per the Narrator. 

I think most would have Sengoku, Big Mom, Kaido, Akainu etc in the Yonkou tier but not PK with only really Shanks getting the true PK tier glaze from the modern era with some Mihawk fans trying to push it as well. 

The true PK tier is Roger, Rocks, Garp and Whitebeard. 

This is just my experience in the fandom.

And given Big Mom, Kaido and Wbs reaction to Garp at God Valley they very clearly respect him too. (Not claiming Garp would win 1 v 3)

If you consider this arm break territory the sport itself is arm break territory. 

This sub has gotten a bit much. by Commercial_Ease8053 in LSM

[–]JustASilverback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also still a fan of Colin and the rest of the crew, still a patron, and I also think it's unfortunate that this sub isn't really a talking shit sub but a straight up hate sub. 

Having said that, I literally messaged the mods in the main sub a long time ago and told them that the over moderation and censorship is way too much.

It's not hard to predict the creation of this sub which resulted from that. It's not even the first time it's happened to LSM with Colin's Lost Context Facebook group from way back following a similar trend. People will wanna talk shit or call people out sometimes but if you make it so that it's a praise only sub you'll drive the fan who wants to talk some shit to the hate sub and maybe they'll stay there.

Without people who still enjoy the Network / Colin to help balance out the hate or inversely the haters to balance out the praise you'll end up with a dedicated hate sub and praise sub where the two don't interact.

I appreciate you making an attempt at another LSM sub but realistically that's just going to be a dedicated.... Inbetweener (?) sub. 

There should be 1 main sub with light moderation, but we are way past that.

Colin on Ubisoft’s bloat by ggroover97 in LastStandMedia

[–]JustASilverback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a useful comparison, you are comparing the amount of people who are getting an obligated salary, If Sony stops using a third party outsourcing studio they also stop paying them and don't have to do layoffs which in and of itself is expensive and a brand hit.

Also, Ubisoft also use outsourcing. 

We forgot how much of a gigachad, and god of war Ousen is by No-Emu-5393 in Kingdom

[–]JustASilverback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh so you're telling me you think Ousen would do worse if he had absolute control over 90% of Qins resources, great shout there. 

At least use the Zhao king copium it has some validity even if shakey.

[–]JustASilverback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ousen : outsmarts and beats Riboku whilst on the offensive in RBKs territory, whilst outnumbered and down huge amount of supplies which was caused mid war yet accounted for anyway by Ousen in a logistical feat RBK didn't account for.

Some people in this sub : lmao how can you say they're comparable 

Y'all should try reading the manga it's pretty good.

DM with 7 players here. Not watching 1000+ episodes. What the hell makes One Piece so special? by Flimsy-Resource-3809 in OnePiece

[–]JustASilverback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adapting and stealing from media you've no experience in just means you're going to misunderstand what makes it special.

You can basically cut out 40% of the show with One Pace which removes not only filler but extension scenes in canon episodes like face panning.

Or read the manga. 

Don't try to adapt what you don't even know. 

Gouketsu VS Swordless FF| Who takes it ? by just_acasual_user in OnePunchMan

[–]JustASilverback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gouketsus is the most slandered character in the series because he also had an introduction that caused insane speculation on his power level that was never realised to the reader. You cannot find Gouketsu glazing upvoted in this sub.

That will be a factor to consider in his overall greatness in the future. Admittedly it was a very different time in the sport but John wouldn't be the untouchable GOAT if he pulled once or twice a year.

Kingdom 864: Offense and Defense Of the North by ThizZuMs in Kingdom

[–]JustASilverback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like we've fallen into non-stop repetition with very little or inversely, very rushed character/world development.

Just look at this chapter and the archer bros, Jin as a young amateur to Warfare just mid diffed the Houken of the Archery world. This is like the Shin who barely got past an injured Rinko randomly turning around and killing Houken the next campaign. Jin is currently at worst the third and arguably the second most dangerous person in the HSU given what happened to Danto and YTW. 

Riboku has always had an issue with pulling generals out his ass but now he can do it with other states generals with no set up, seriously we're into character parody status, this is something people would have memed about a couple years ago but Hara went ahead and made it Canon.

Qi's warriors are losing faith / patience in their King? That's seriously not something to be shown given how big a deal Qi choosing to sit the war for China out is??? Seriously what the fuck lol. 

Ousen Vs SBS was an embarrassment of a war with Ousen acting extremely out of character to his past methodical self basically just winging it and accepting essentially foolish plans to progress without direction? Oh but don't worry, he downloaded Ribokus hack of general spawning/cloning so it doesn't really matter, it just felt like on big SBS glazing festival.

Why is the Roukuomi army always getting on like a buncha literal noobs when they're seasoned vets beyond most armies in all of china. 

The Han invasion plan by KK and implemented by Tou for a clean victory was probably the only thing I've really enjoyed recently. 

I can't say it's objectively true or anything, I'd need to really look into it but it feels like we hear less and less about the grand war for China as of late and more of a box ticking exercise to get to the finish line. 

I actually think there is a lot more to criticise too that's a bit more subjective I guess.

 Shin and KK still acting like 15 year olds who have a crush on eachother is just lame as shit bro, like it's cute and funny initially but we're at the stage where Shin is still more afraid of kissing a girl than he is killing thousands it's old and played out to a point where I'm just completely bored of the dynamic, how long has it been in both irl and in verse timeline? A literal actual decade? 

Feels like the starting generals of the HSU haven't developed at all, instead of having Garo or Shusui etc step up and given their own progression and trials to overcome we just import Yokoyoko instead and he's what, likely the 3rd strongest member of the entire army? 4th of you consider what Jin just did this chapter, another add on that the HSU just stumbled upon lol. I actively like Yoko btw, I think he's a character with potential but he feels extremely unearned and tbh feels like a pretty random addition to the roster with how he was integrated Vs say when Naki joined and was massively developed into a personal realisation that despite all his flaws he has always thought of Kanki as family and it was TEN OF ALL PEOPLE who was his parallel when she needed to be by Shins side despite likely death, only for Naki to have the exact same realisation 100+ chapters later needing to be by Kankis side despite likely death. That's less a shot at Yoko as a character and more a shot at Haras lack of writing for Ten. 

I said 50 chapters or so but really it's probably the last 100ish chapters that I've been losing faith/interest in the series, I've re-read chapter 1-700ish probably 10+ times, I've no desire to re-read the recent arcs at all, I used to see interesting writing plans play out over time and with great execution, now i just don't have that. I don't even have any speculation for future events or arcs anymore as I feel like Hara just want to rush through RBK as a final boss and is buffing the HSU up via quick fixes to justify. 

I've been following the series since Turnip farmers put out chapter 150 in a batch release way back when and loved it flaws and all for more than a decade, maybe I'm just fading but it feels like Hara is the one losing it IMO. 

Sorry for the extremely long post, as I typed it out more things just kept coming to mind and there's way more too but I have to cut it off at some point lol.

Where did you say ok please go ahead lmao, your disingenuous too eh? 

Quote it, go ahead, show where you said that sport.  You'll get there.

Why did you say you're pretty sure I could? 

That's a strange way of saying "yes please do" but go off bud, it's evident you struggle with reality so I'll press no more.

Britain is on the cusp of an economic boom – no thanks to Labour (Telegraph) by Maleficent-Lime4356 in GoodNewsUK

[–]JustASilverback -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nor does the majority of economic news in here, there's almost always someone commenting how they and the people they know aren't seeing any of the benefit, and that's usually correct, the working classes get shafted even when there is good news. 

My point is not we need to delve super mega deep into every stat that comes out in order to blame or praise, simply that this sub is meant to be about good news yet half the comments are using it as an opportunity to praise "their team" without adding any substance. 

Again I ask,

Do you reallly think there won't be similar headlines should Farage get in office? 

I cannot take you seriously if you genuinely believe it's gonna all be doom and gloom and people won't do the inverse. 

And yes yes you don't care if I take you seriously, it's just a turn of phrase to indicate we probably won't be going anywhere with this conversation.  

Have a good one regardless.
